New EREV vehicle reviewed

Here is a Scout EREV review done by Out of Spec Motoring. Check out the review: https://youtu.be/J3nZmFJ0THY?si=yI1fvsujiLUDrU-u .

EREV was a new term for me, here's the Google definition:

EREV stands for Extended Range Electric Vehicle, which is a type of car that uses an electric motor and a small internal combustion engine to increase its driving range: 
  • How it works
    The electric motor is the primary source of propulsion, but the gas engine is used to generate additional energy for the battery. The gas engine is typically much smaller than the engine in an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle.
  • Benefits
    EREVs can function like electric cars, and the driver only needs to fill up the gas tank when taking a longer trip. EREVs also have the benefits of normal electric vehicles, such as a longer all-electric range and fast responsiveness.
  • Emissions
    EREVs create less CO2 over their lifetime than an ICE car. The gas generator is used much less than in an ICE vehicle, so it has lower emissions.
  • Examples
    The Extended Range BMW i3 is an example of an EREV.
